Syrian military

The Syrian military is the armed force of the Syrian Arab Republic. Recent news highlights its involvement in escalating conflict with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northern Aleppo. This follows a breakdown in talks aimed at integrating the Kurdish-led SDF into the Syrian military. The fighting has resulted in civilian casualties and mass displacement, with estimates suggesting over 100,000 people have fled the affected areas. The Syrian military's actions and its relationship with the SDF are significant due to their impact on regional stability, the ongoing Syrian civil war, and the future governance of areas previously controlled by the SDF. The US military's transfer of ISIS detainees from Syria to Iraq also indirectly relates to the Syrian military's role in maintaining security within the country.
